Five Million Man-Hour Safety Record Attained (Continued from Page One) the Smithfield plant began operations. Technically, the Award of Honor, was given to the plant for having operated 3,561,561 man-hours without a disabling injury between September 21, 1960, and December 31, 1963. The Blue Ribbon Award was for the employees’ having worked the entire year of 1963 with no disabling injuries. The plaque from Fieldcrest Mills, Inc., was given as an Award of Excellence to the employees in recognition of their five million man-hours without a lost time accident, a record which was at tained on June 18, 1964. Praises Employees In a message to employees, Mr. Sam- bleson said: “Each and every employee deserves to be proud of the outstanding safety record of the Automatic Blanket Plant at Smithfield. “Not only have you, individually and collectively, achieved a remarkable safe ty record in all areas, but the five mil lion man-hours worked without a lost time accident is second to none, not only in Fieldcrest but in our industry. “Congratulations to you and my sin cere thanks for your safety awareness in your daily jobs that has made this achievement possible. The greater the record the harder it is to maintain or beat; but I have such confidence in you that I am sure that we will by this time next year have set a new record of six million man-hours.” Fieldcrest for many years manufac tured automatic blankets at Spray and the five million man-hour record dated from July 27, 1956, when the last dis abling injury occurred at the Spray mill.
